A LOOK AT BODY COMPOSITION ANALYSIS

During a body composition analysis, your weight loss doctor will evaluate your current weight and your current body mass index (BMI), which is a comparison of your weight to your height. He or she will also determine your overall fat percentage and your basal metabolic rate. You’ll discover your ideal body fat and weight ranges, which will guide you in setting your goals for quick weight loss. Other data the weight loss physician will examine may include fat mass, fat-free mass, and total body water.

The results of a professional body composition analysis will aid in quick weight loss by letting your doctor know which diet program is best suited to your needs. He or she can also recommend appetite suppressants and other supplements, depending on your particular health profile. As you make progress on your diet program, you should periodically undergo additional body composition analyses.

*Each patient's experience is unique based on medical conditions and body composition, as each patient's body is different. The amount of weight loss may vary based on these and other variables such as program adherence and metabolic factors.
